Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of molten salt furnace technology, and in particular to a safe and environmentally friendly molten salt furnace exhaust gas heat exchanger. Background Technology
[0002] Molten salt furnaces transfer heat to molten salt by burning fuel (such as coal, oil, or gas) or using electric heating elements, raising its temperature. The molten salt, in a liquid state at high temperatures, circulates through the system via a circulating pump, transferring heat to the equipment or materials requiring heating before returning to the furnace for reheating.
[0003] Molten salt furnaces generate a large amount of high-temperature exhaust gas during operation. This exhaust gas contains a large number of harmful substances and particulate matter, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and heavy metal particles. If these harmful substances are directly discharged into the atmosphere without treatment, they will cause serious environmental pollution and affect people's health. Moreover, if the high-temperature exhaust gas generated by the molten salt furnace is directly discharged into the atmosphere, it will lead to a large amount of heat energy waste. Therefore, we propose a safe and environmentally friendly molten salt furnace exhaust gas heat exchanger. Utility Model Content

[0006] The spray assembly includes a water pump, with a water delivery pipe connected to the front end of the water pump. One end of the water delivery pipe passes through the filter box and is connected to an atomizing spray head. A water pumping pipe is connected to the rear end of the water pump.
[0007] The above technical solution involves starting a water pump, which draws cooling water from the water storage tank through a pumping pipe, and then delivers it to the atomizing spray head through a water supply pipe. The atomizing spray head then sprays and filters the exhaust gas, removing harmful substances and particulate matter. The filtered and washed exhaust gas is then discharged into the atmosphere through an exhaust pipe, reducing environmental pollution.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the bottom of the water pump is fixedly connected to the top of the filter box, and the top of the atomizing spray head is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the filter box.
[0009] The above technical solution uses atomized water spray heads to spray the exhaust gas, ensuring coverage.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the end of the pumping pipe away from the water pump extends into the interior of the water storage tank.
[0011] The above technical solution uses a water storage tank to store water, which facilitates its subsequent use in spraying.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, one end of the water inlet pipe extends to the outside of the heat exchanger, and one end of the water outlet pipe extends to the outside of the heat exchanger.
[0013] The above technical solution connects the inlet pipe to the external pipe and the outlet pipe to the external heating pipe, allowing the hot water after heat exchange to enter the heating pipe.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, a drain pipe is connected to the rear end of the filter box, and the end of the drain pipe away from the filter box is connected to a water storage tank.
[0015] The above technical solution allows the water inside the filter box to return to the storage tank via a drain pipe, facilitating subsequent recycling and reducing resource waste.
[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, a first filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filter box, and the first filter screen is located at the upper end of the connecting pipe.
[0017] The above technical solution uses a first filter screen to perform preliminary filtration of the exhaust gas entering the filter box, filtering out larger particles.
[0018] As a further improvement to the above solution, a second filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filter box, and the second filter screen is located at the lower end of the first filter screen.
[0019] The above technical solution filters the water after spraying through a second filter screen, allowing the water source to continue to be used.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0021] This invention incorporates a first filter screen and a spray assembly. Specifically, the first filter screen performs preliminary filtration of the exhaust gas. Then, a water pump is activated, drawing cooling water from the storage tank through a pumping pipe and delivering it to the atomizing spray head through a water supply pipe. The atomizing spray head then sprays and filters the exhaust gas, removing harmful substances and particulate matter. The filtered and washed exhaust gas is then discharged into the atmosphere through an exhaust pipe, reducing environmental pollution.
[0022] This invention incorporates a second filter screen, specifically filtering the sprayed water before draining it into a water storage tank. This facilitates water resource recycling and reduces operating costs. Attached Figure Description

One end of the water supply pipe 802 passes through the filter box 7 and is connected to an atomizing spray head 803. A water suction pipe 804 is connected to the rear end of the water pump 801. The exhaust gas from the molten salt furnace enters the heat exchanger 1 through the exhaust gas inlet pipe 2. Water is injected into the inlet pipe 4 and enters the heat exchange tube 3. The heat from the molten salt furnace exhaust gas heats the water inside the heat exchange tube 3, and then the water is discharged through the outlet pipe 5. After heat exchange, the exhaust gas enters the filter box 7 through the connecting pipe 6. Then, the water pump 801 is started. The water pump 801 draws cooling water from the water storage tank 9 through the water pumping pipe 804, and then delivers it to the atomizing spray head 803 through the water delivery pipe 802. The atomizing spray head 803 sprays and filters the exhaust gas, filtering out harmful substances and particulate matter in the exhaust gas. After filtration and washing, the exhaust gas is discharged into the atmosphere through the exhaust pipe 11, reducing environmental pollution.
[0034] The bottom of the water pump 801 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter box 7, and the top of the atomizing spray head 803 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the filter box 7.

[0037] The rear end of the filter box 7 is connected to a drain pipe 10, and the end of the drain pipe 10 away from the filter box 7 is connected to the water storage tank 9.
[0038] The inner wall of the filter box 7 is fixedly connected to a first filter screen 12, which is located at the upper end of the connecting pipe 6. The exhaust gas is initially filtered through the first filter screen 12 to filter out larger particles.
[0039] A second filter screen 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filter box 7. The second filter screen 13 is located at the lower end of the first filter screen 12. The water source after spraying is filtered through the second filter screen 13, and then the filtered water source flows into the interior of the water storage tank 9 through the drain pipe 10, which facilitates the recycling of water resources and reduces the cost of use.
[0040] The implementation principle of a safe and environmentally friendly molten salt furnace exhaust gas heat exchanger in this application embodiment is as follows: During use, the exhaust gas from the molten salt furnace enters the heat exchanger 1 through the exhaust gas inlet pipe 2. Water is injected into the water inlet pipe 4 and enters the heat exchange tube 3. The heat from the molten salt furnace exhaust gas heats the water inside the heat exchange tube 3, and then it is discharged out through the water outlet pipe 5. After heat exchange, the exhaust gas enters the filter box 7 through the connecting pipe 6. The exhaust gas undergoes preliminary filtration through the first filter screen 12. Then, the water pump 801 is started, and the water pump 801 pumps water... Pipe 804 draws cooling water from inside the water storage tank 9 and then delivers it to the interior of the atomizing spray head 803 through the water supply pipe 802. The atomizing spray head 803 sprays and filters the exhaust gas, removing harmful substances and particulate matter. The filtered and washed exhaust gas is then discharged into the atmosphere through the exhaust pipe 11, reducing environmental pollution. The sprayed water is filtered through the second filter screen 13 and then flows into the water storage tank 9 through the drain pipe 10, facilitating water resource recycling and reducing operating costs.
